Plan to Lower South Dakota Railroad Rates Faces Court Order
A. Willard of the federal district court in Mipneypoke enjoins the South Dakota railroad commission to lower rates, blocking state authority. Plans by Newman Erb and Rich Hawley for a Canadian to Gulf of Mexico through route could reshape the Western rail map. Official crop forecasts estimate 78 million bushels of Northwest wheat and 225 million bushels of oats with 34 million bushels of barley. The Davenport meeting halted a threatened strike by shop men of the Western Central railroad to pressure federation recognition, while Julius Kruttschnitz remains firm against acknowledgment or talks with shop worker committees.
